This article compares ODF to the Microsoft Office Open XML format (.docx), sometimes abbreviated to MOOX. This is the format to be used in the forthcoming Office 12. The Office 2003 format has the extension .xml.

The Office 2003 format has the extension .xml.

Nobody can ever accuse Microsoft of missing a marketing opportunity. If the extension is .xml it must be XML.

I'm sorry, I really don't mean to behave like a troll,
But if history has shown us anything, it would be that
Microsoft does whatever it damned well pleases.

If they want to call a .doc a .xml, they can. And no
one can make them do any differently.
